Johnny "The Biker".....Box-Art

[EDUARDO SANCHEZ BARBERO]

Hello to everybody......Johnny " The Biker "
Laszlo Benedek was the filmmaker who took a real story to invoice one of the best films of bikers (motorcyclists), "The Wild". It is estimated that about 4,000 motorcyclists, taken "by assault" the small California town of Hollister.

They were 48 hours of racing, street fighting and beer as fuel for these "Boozefighters". That was the story that recreated Benedek and gave Marlon Brando the lead role of the film. And Brando agreed on the condition of working on his own motorcycle: Triumph Thunderbird 6T in black

Excellent piece, captures everything about Brando in "The Wild One". The Triumph should probably be a maroon/red, 1953 Thunderbird 6T. The actual bike used was destroyed after the filming, its frame cut up and used elsewhere. Why that was done is a mystery.

What about one of Lee Marvin, from the same film, on his chopped 45 Harley ? Now HE looked like the bikers did back then
This might actually persuade me into trying a bust........ Did I really just say that? Aaaarrrgh, the Dark Side is reaching into my soul......

Nice, slightly different piece, in subject as well as presentation. I **** it.
The link below does show a red Triumph, Note, also, the bungee cords/twine holding the trophy in place.
